Create the coding target fields

Create the questions used to store values from an Oracle Central Coding dictionary. The values are returned to the coding targets on Oracle Clinical One Platform study forms after a verbatim term is coded.

Note:

Advanced Study Versioning (ASV) does not support the addition of new coding target fields for existing subjects.

Using ASV to add new coding targets results in them appearing on forms for all subjects in Oracle Clinical One Platform studies. For subjects where the visit was initiated before the new coding targets were added (existing subjects), the new targets are blank in Oracle Clinical One Platform and remain blank even if a verbatim term is recoded. This is also true for new verbatim terms coded after the ASV change is applied.

This is because the code map, comprised of the associations defined during form design for each coding target and its corresponding dictionary level, is locked for a subject when the visit is first initiated. For more information, see About Advanced Study Versioning (ASV)

  1. Open the form, select Add, and then choose the Text option.
  2. Enter the question title, for example, System Organ Class Code.
  3. On the Details side panel.
    • Deselect any option with a checkmark under Required for.
    • Enable the Hidden setting, and then use the Data Classification drop-down to define who can view the question and its data. For more information, see Define data classifications for a hidden question.
    • Enable the Read Only setting so users who can view the data, based on data classification, cannot edit it.

      Note:

      Coding targets should never be editable. Study design and Oracle Central Coding configuration determine the data that populates the coding targets.
    • Set the Character Limit to 2000.
  4. Expand the Advanced sidebar, select Add Property, and then choose the Coding Question option.
    The Dictionary and Tag for Central Coding settings are populated with the values defined for the verbatim term; do not change these. For more information about these settings and the Coding Item Type setting, see Details about the Coding Question settings on the Advanced sidebar.
  5. Under Coding Item Type, select the option that matches the question's title. For example, if you entered System Organ Class for the title, also select it from the drop-down.
  6. Select Save, then Add to create additional coding targets.
